Everytime I eat a tuna sandwich I think of Tuna Twist, that packet made a world of different that I can remember in tuna salad. They need to bring that back!

I loved Tuna Twist! Why would they ever stop making it? It was like, kind of a packet of dry soup mix that you added to tuna! I miss that stuff. I wonder if soup mix would work....

Tuna Twist was awesome, except it was both produced and discontinued in the 70's, not the 80's. I found a short article title that probably explains why: "Gastrointestinal illness associated with Nabisco's Tuna Twist" from the journal California Morbidity 43 in 1976.

"Tuna twist makes tuna taste fresh as a garden!" Wasn't that the truth? I miss that stuff! Tuna just hasn't been the same since. I think they SHOULD bring it back, and I never had gastrointestinal illness from eating it....

I loved tuna twist. I was a kid when it was available. My mom bought it and it was so easy to make. Just tear the packet open into a bowl with tuna and mayo, and voila! Somtimes I added sliced boiled eggs, celery, or pickle relish. So a couple of people got sick. Thas ok, bring it back! LOL

I have dreams about Tuna Twist, I remember growing up. No chance of this product coming back.

Let's all stop whining and get organized. What can we do to get this product back on the shelves. Why should our kids be deprived of this wonderful product. Lets ban together

I think of this every time I eat a tuna sandwich. It was absolutely wonderful! Please, please how can we bring this back?

I haven't opened a can of tuna in 32 years that my husband or I haven't said "I wish I had Tuna Twist"!! I'd love some right now!

I just sent an email to Kraft in regards to Tuna Twist and that we want it back after all these years! Maybe if everyone went Kraft.com and sent a request they might just bring it back!

I remember my mom packing my lunches in 4th-5th grade (1979-1981) with Tuna Twist sandwiches. I put italian seasoning on my tuna salad in an effort to recapture the taste, but it doesn't really cut it.

I was one of the people that got a tummy-ache, but tuna has not been the same, since the disappearance of tuna twist... I agree do the research, but bring it back...

I am a vegetarian now, but I would break down and eat a tuna sandwich if they brought tuna twist back!!!

Really, it was the song and the dancing cartoon veggies in the commercial that did it for me. Sir Celery, Miss Parsley and the Onion Twins. Dr. Freud, your sandwich is ready.

I Have missed tuna twist for years!!! It is awsome and I wish they would bring it back! The way I look at the sick issue thing, there is not a product on the market that has not made someone sick. I used to eat it as a kid and I was heart sick when they took it away. There are so many wonderful products that have been taken off the market and it isn't fare!I agree with all the other comments. BRING IT BACK!!!!

My aunt is deadly allergic to a preservative that is found in products such as hamburger helper and stove top stuffing. She could care less if they were kept on the market, she just simply stays away from them. Just because some people may have a reaction to something doesn't mean that others should not be allowed to enjoy it. If the whole world was searched for people allergic to all products there would most likely be people allergic to everything on the shelves. I really do think that Tuna Twist needs to be put back on the shelves because the reasoning for removing it could be used on any product. The stuff was wonderful and alot of people miss it including myself. If I had a reaction to something I would not expect it to be removed from the shelves I would just stay away from that product and let others enjoy it.

I have left a few comments on this sight and I thought of one more comment I would like to leave. If Kraft doesn't want to bring the product itself back to the shelves then why not give us the ingredients so those of us who love it can make it ourselves. It makes sense because if they are not going to be making anymore money off of it then why not share the secret to making it.I think that Tuna Twist made the sale of tuna go up so all tuna industries such as Starkist and etc should ban with all of us on putting it back on the shelves. IF NOT JUST GIVE US THE INGRIDENTS THAT IS IN IT SINCE YOU ARE GETTING NO MORE MONEY FROM IT!!! PLEASE!!!

wow i guess im not the only one !!!!! its incredible that this product is still effecting customers 30 years later i my self am also in this position. i not only remember the unique taste but a uplift in feeling and energy and being in a great mood afterward. It seems that we are all suffering from withdraw , i agree with all your comments give us the ingredients and the secret so we can make it our selfs. because at 40 i sure could use a taste.

I thought I was the only one who remembers Tuna Twist! I remember the cheddar flavor was my favorite. I just bought some tuna from Sam's club, now all I need is the Tuna Twist to go with it! Maybe they will come out with a new and improved Tuna Twist.

I hated tuna sandwiches as a child ... until my mom found Tuna Twist. Then I LOVED them. I have been on a long search for this product and Tuna will never be the same. PLEASE bring Tuna Twist BACK!!!!!

My family as well as all of you loved Tuna Twist!I really do wish it would come back!We real;ly miss it!

I miss Tuna Twist also so I came up with this version 1 can of chuck light tuna in water (for flavor) 1 can of Albacore in water (texture) dried celery flakes, dried onion flakes, dried parsley (Less onion flakes - they are the strongest) 1-2 Tablespoons of TVP (Texture Vegetable Protein) - that is what stretches the the tuna to make more sandwiches. I drain the tuna and use some of the liquid from the chuck light to rehydrate the dried vegetables and TVP the liquid gives the TVP that tuna flavor. (This just takes a few minutes) Mix together with tuna and mayo and eat. My son is a part-time vegetarian and that is how I came across the TVP, this recipe is pretty close to the Tuna Twist I remember but then again that was many years ago. If anyone tries it and can make some improvements let me know.

Boy I miss this tuff. Everytime I make tuna I think of it. I'm glad to know that I'm not alone in my love of it. I wish they would bring it back.

I have not yet tried the way Karen mentioned on her post on Dec 24th 2008 yet but I will give it a try. I have tried something myself that is pretty good but still it is not Tuna Twist. I have taken McCormick dry vegetable seasoning mix for dip and have mixed that season package up with mircle whip and tuna. I have also added all the above plus put a packet of dry cheese from one of those boxes of microwavable macaroni & cheese. Like I said it isn't Tuna Twist but it taste pretty good. They really need to tell us what is in Tuna Twist.

I take a package of Knorr vegetable mix( the kind for the spinich dip) I sift out the powder, it makes it too salty. Add 1 large can of tuna, some onion and some mayo. let set in the frige for 1 hour and enjoy. It's close to tuna twist. I wish they would bring it back also it was great!

i love tuna twist too. my problem is everyone i mention this to thinks im nutts, and that the commercial and product never was. i sing the line"tuna twist tuna twist fresh as a garden" and they dont believe me when i say i did not make it up. can it be found online(the commercial) so i can prove it was.

My Grandma used to use some sort of packet in tuna. Don't know if it was Tuna Twist or not. I was really young. Swanson makes chicken salad seasoning in original, bbq and caesar. It would probablly work in tuna salad. It's in my local grocery store near the gravy mixes.

I Love Tuna Twist! I sure do miss it. Why won't they bring it back! I remember coming home from school and mom had them ready for us. Delicious!!

Tuna Twist was the bomb!!!!!!! I sure wish they would bring it back. I have fond memories of my grandmother making it for us and my mom also wish I could share it with my kids!!!!!!!!!

I would think 30 years later, they could figure out what made people sick, and replace it with some other ingredient. This is making me hungry! I try to do my best with tuna, but like the rest of you, it's just not the same, lively, exciting tuna salad without Tuna Twist!!

No, I don't care what the article says.... I only had it while i was with an old boyfriend. which was between the years of 1980 and 1983, so its not possible for the Tuna Twist to have been discontinued before that. Sorry, That information is wrong.

http://www.nabiscoworld.com/misccontent/contactus/contact.aspx?m=cu_faqsingle&cat1=10&Faq_Question_ID=1572 tellem to bring it back! Apparently the problem was not an allergic thing, but with the celery/and or onion not hydrating correctly, and causing gastric distress. My idea is that they try selling it already mixed with packaged tuna, you just add the mayo. That would give the veggies a chance to hydrate in the tuna before sale. or, maybe just use powdered onion/celery, instead of the dehydrated veggies.. for those posting recipes of their own versions, I read on another site that a user added a teaspoon of sugar. This might be the missing key ingredient. : /

That was the most awesome product that I've ever had the pleasure of having. I've been trying to make my own. I've come pretty close but still no cigar. What I've come up with. Mayonaise dehydrated onion herb de provence celery seed garlic powder onion powder

I had Tuna Twist when I was 13 and suffered diarrhea as a result. Shortly afterwards, my uncle in Los Angeles (who I was staying with at the time) brought me an article from the L.A. Times linking Tuna Twist to gastrointestinal illness. Paul, for you to say "so a couple of people got sick, that's OK bring it back" is proof you need psychiatric help.

Is the commercial on YOUTUBE?

It was not discontinued in the 70's. I ate it at least as late as 1990. I bought in a little hole in the wall grocery store in Truman, ar. The guy that owned the store may have been buying old stuff, but he had a steady supply of it for several years, if not now, I haven't checked in there for years.

Who made the tuna twist? i remember it as a kid and it was awesome, my run has never been the same.!

i remember eating Tuna Twist and loving it.who cares if you get stomach pains? thats because we aint to many of those yummy sandwiches at one time lol. :)

Nothing could dress up your tuna like Tuna Twist, not even good ole Mom. Bring back Tuna Twist.

Q. Are some of the older Nabisco snack products still available? A. We still carry a wide variety of snack products that were originally under the Nabisco label. There are some types of snacks that have been discontinued. There were not enough consumers buying the products to support its continued production. The following is a list of snacks that we most commonly receive questions about, and have been discontinued: NABISCO AMERICAN FRIES NABISCO CHIPPERS NABISCO CHIPSTERS NABISCO CHIT CHAT NABISCO DIP IN A CHIP NABISCO FLINGS NABISCO HEYDAY BARS NABISCO KENNEDY'S SPECIAL COMMONS NABISCO LIL' LOAF NABISCO MEAL-MATES NABISCO NUTTER BUTTER GRANOLA BARS NABISCO SHAPIES NABISCO TUNA TWIST PLANTER'S TAVERN NUTS SNACKWELL'S BROWNIE MIX Get on board people and contact Nabisco. They need to hear our voices if we ant this product back.

It is amazing and comforting to know how many people love and miss this stuff like i do. What brought me to this site is i just made tuna salad. And I remember my mom putting this mix it it that was awesome...she could not remember the name nor could I. I just had to know what it was and if they still made it. Now I know :( but wow to be able to use that stuff again...it was like...tuna crack! so addicting...man i miss it! BRING IT BACK!!!

Hey all lovers of Tuna Twist Kraft also won't bring back Creamy Italian Seven Seas. There is a company called Vermont Country Store that are purveyors of products that can't be found and they find or remake if enough interest. Let's all contact them for help in getting these 2 products back on the market!!!!!!

I cannot believe I found all these people that feel the same way I do about Tuna Twist, it is one of the best things ever invented and impacted my life so much I ask people I don't even know if they remember it. It was the best thing ever and I want it back real bad!!!!!

I remember the song.....I'm Sir Celery, I'm Miss Parsely, We are the Onions Twins. Tuna Twist tuna tastes fresh as the garden.

tuna twist copy recipie use a 1/4 of 1 ounce packet dry ranch dip use a 1/8 of 1 ounce packet of dry italian dip 5 eggs miracle whip finely shopped onions a pinch of dill weed 1/2 tbs mustard 1/2 tbs red wine vinegar 1 tbs honey finely chopped pickle(dill or sweet)

oh i forgot the powdered celery or parsely

I have made up a recipe that equals tuna twist so much that I don't even miss the original anymore. 1 can tuna in water drained,1/3package of Knorrs Spring Vegetable soup mix (the vegetables only 1/3), celery salt, dried minced onion flakes, dried parsley flakes, mayo. Mix all then add some of the dry seasoning from packet to taste. Yum it's delicious. Double recipe for even more Yum. Hope all the tuna twist fans out there enjoy this!

I need to mention that Knorrs Vegetable is the one to use. Spring Vegetable has a few different ingriedents that are different. Probably is just as good. But my recipe uses VEGETABLE.

I remember Tuna Twist....the had an animated commercial with " the Onion twins " ...anyone remember

I absolutely LOVED Tuna Twist. I have found I can sort of recreate the experience with my own fresh celery and onions and dried parsely (especially if I mix it with the tuna and then let it chill overnight before eating) but it's still not quite the same. If anyone ever starts a petition to bring it back, I'll be glad to sign !

I also remember this culinary delight and would LOVE to have it back. I will try to recreate the taste bud pleasing flavors.

My mom used to buy Tuna Twist and I loved it!!! I think about it often and even tell my kids. I'd love to find an old box on ebay.

Love finding others that remember this great product. For those that got sick, sorry, but I ate it all the time, and never did. Maybe you had an allergy, or got a bad batch? Pulling the product forever seems extreme to me. It was just seasonings, for crying out loud! They could bring it back, making sure it was safe, and people could once again enjoy it. Those that don't want to, just don't buy it! One of my kids is allergic to peaches, but I don't expect them to pull all peach-containing products from the stores. We just avoid them. Going to try some of the recipe suggestions, and thanks a ton to those offering them. Also, thanks for the Nabisco contact offered - I sent them feedback, and hope others do as well!

Even after all these years everywhere I go I still keep looking to see if they've brought this product back or a new product that is comparable. No such luck. I just can't get into tuna anymore the way I did with the Tuna Twist-is was the best!

I remember the song & sing it to myself every time I "try" to duplicate Tuna Twist. I agree with an earlier comment that the maker's of Tuna Twist needs to work out any issues & BING IT BACK!. In this day & time surely that could be done. I'm surprised one of the better known tuna providers hasn't come up with something. P.S ...bring back Doo-Dad's while your at it...LOL

Bring back Tuna Twist!!!! Technology of today and knowledge can eliminate whatever it was that some people have problems and get it back for those of us whom never had problems. This stuff rocked, and I think about it all the time. I want black cows back too!

There is a Tuna Twist recipe on Kraft Foods website.

I contacted NabiscoWorld.com re the Tuna Twist asking them for a list of the ingredients since we couldn't buy the Tuna Twist anymore. Below is their response: Thank you for visiting http://www.nabiscoworld.com and I wanted to let you know that the product you recently asked about Tuna Twists is not a product owned or manufactured by Kraft.

iwas just a kid back then, but i remember and now miss Tuna Twist. I wish they would bring i back. I would buy it.

Tuna Twist was the best thing that ever happened to tuna! I have great memories of my grandmother making tuna sandwiches for lunch for me and my brother in the late 70's. I wish this product would come back.

This stuff made me puke in my neighbors yard. Yes the commercials were good.... but gross

I used to love this when I was a kid! I don't eat fish any more, but if they brought Tuna Twist back I would.

I used to love this stuff when I was a kid! I don't eat fish any more, but if they brought Tuna Twist back I would.

So a few people can't handle onions. My Step Mom could not eat tomatoes but they are still served on foods. People have allergies to nuts, egg products, gluten, etc. Food makers put warnings on the labels, "May contain nuts" or "Produced in a facility that processes shell fish" so that people are protected yet the general populace can enjoy a wide variety of products. The same can be done for a resurrected Tuna Twist product. Bring back the flavor!

anyone have the actual recepie?

My two best friends and I (D and Sherry ... I miss them so much) use to put Tuna Twist in our Tuna all of the time! We use to play hookie from school just to go home and eat Tuna with our Tuna Twist. Ir was an awesome, awesome flavor! Everytime I go to the store to purchase tuna I look for it on the self hoping it's there and get disappointed when I do not see it. I've been disappointed for the last 20 years. I'm 40 something now and I'm still craving for Tuna Twist! Bring it back! PLEASE! I got a few recipes from the above Tuna Twist Lovers (I have my fingers crossed hoping it will taste good or similiar!) Bring the Tuna Twist back! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! I'M NOT JAMES BROWN BUT I'M BEGGING LIKE HE WOULD!!!

This is amazing....I never thought there were soo many fans of Tuna Twist. I am 42 yo now and I was just in the grocery store talking about it because I am making tuna again and remembered Tuna Twist and how DELICIOUS my mothers tuna was when she mixed it with this. I am the same way about Vanilla Wafer Cookie Crisp cereal!! Why do they keep doing away with the good stuff. I really would love for my family to taste tuna made with Tuna Twist. I will try the Knorr's vegetable packet because my family loves my spinach dip and I use this to make it. On my way to the market to buy some today.

I was just talking to someone about this the other day (I'm 44) and thought I'd do a search for it. Can't believe there is such a following!

Just made a tuna sandwich while talking to a friend who LOVES tuna. I happened to mention that I wish I could buy some Tuna Twist.( which she had never heard of) The taste that it would give to tuna was awesome. Please....bring it back into our lives!

I too, LOVED Tuna Twist. I thought I was the only one. It really did make tuna special. A lot of people are allergic to peanuts, and many things containing peanuts or peanut oil are still on the market. I wish they would bring it back. I also liked Gourmayo which was horse radish sauce and mayonnaise. They stopped making that too. What is this world coming to.

Tuna Twist was the best!!! Why is whenever I find a food or product I like it then gets discontinued? Tuna sucks without Tuna Twist!

Loved Tuna Twist. I still remember the commercials. "Tuna twist makes tuna taste fresh as a garden" Had the dancing vegetables. Good memory.

I noticed on here that there is a lady name Sharon from Kansas City, Mo that said she also misses the Seven Seas Creamy Italian Dressing that Kraft made. For her or anyone else that is interested I came up with a recipe that tastes really close to it. Type in "Seven Seas Creamy Italian Recipe" then Click on " Recipe (tried): Seven Seas Creamy Italian Dressing(copycat... and you will see my recipe pop up. I soooo much want the Tuna Twist back!!!! I have been trying to duplicate it but no luck so far.

If you liked Gourmayo (not sure I remember it) like Diana above, get yourself some horseradish, and experiment with it! You might find different preparations of horseradish at your grocery store. I recommend go for the simplest -- that way you can use your own creativity. Try a dab of simple horseradish alone on crab cakes or other seafood! Make your own "cocktail sauce" or "red sauce" by mixing horseradish with ketchup (much better than some, and you can make it as strong as you like). As for Tuna Twist, I never cared a lot about it in my tuna, but the commercials were fun and memorable. Make your own tuna (salad)! Canned tuna packed in water; Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip type dressing; Chopped celery; Chopped apple; Diced/minced (very tiny pieces) white onion; Chopped or diced dill pickle, or dill or sweet pickle relish. Then add things to experiment. Thinking of Tuna Twist, yesterday I added a very little bit of minced fresh parsley. Lately I usual grind up some carrot in a food processor, and mix that in. Experiment: find what you like, and share it here, on Facebook, in a phone call....

Very good information, Chrisf! That is one fantastic post

I would love to see Tuna Twist come back on the market it was something I ate everyday for lunch as a kid...often thought about this product over the years and would love to be able to purchase it today.

At 49 I still find myself mourning the loss of tuna twist, I have my kids about this wonderful product many times!! Please bring tuna twist back and also Nabisco heyday cookies, miss them so much!!

Was wondering if I was only one who missed Tuna Twist guess I was wrong!!! Bring it back tuna not the same

If you aren't going to put this back on the market, why not release the recipe so we can all enjoy again...we loved it! PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!

Hi, everyone my high school roomate and I were just talking about this product the other day but we couldnt remember the name. I jumped on the internet not expecting to find anything yet now have lots of new friends. Most importantly we are consumers!!! and I was just wondering has anyone responded back to your concerns. They do sell lots of other products that we could discontinue using. Hope the product comes back and I will have roommate post as well.

Found the next best thing, and it's even easier - StarKist makes a line of flavored tuna pouches called Tuna Creations that are really good. The herb and garlic is the closest I found to Tuna Twist. They just launched a new Ranch flavor. Haven't tried it yet though.

I'm 54 and I STILL lament the loss of Tuna Twist. Tuna salad was probably the first thing my brother, sister and I learned to make growing up in the 70's and we all liked it, but then Tuna Twist came on the scene, we went nuts for the stuff. The three of us still to this day get nostalgic remembering Tuna Twist and how it made tuna so delicious. I keep hoping they'll bring it back, but so far no luck. I've tried replicating it from memory, but it's not the same. But I will try some of the recipes from the previous postings and give them a try.

OMG!!! I came looking for a recipe for tuna salad knowing full well there isn't one that I have tried yet that rises to the occasion that Tuna Twist did and I found this place! LOVED LOVED Tuna Twist and is to this day the reason why I ever gave tuna a try in the first place. Tuna Salad just is not the same without it. Wish it was still on the market nothing comes close to it.

Loved Loved Loved this stuff as a teen. Would love to have it back. Im not a tuna lover but loved tuna sandwiches made with this stuff. Please bring it back. Anyone know where to get it, let me know. I will buy many, many boxes of it for me and my sisters and mother too..

TUNA TWIST MAKES TUNA TASTE FRESH AS A GARDEN. Hey, I was the 1st grade milk drinking champ at Converse Elem. in 1969. Then I was dared to drink chocolate milk. It made me hurl & that set off a chain reaction. No parents tried to get chocomilk banned. I stopped drinking it, never went back to it. Bring back TUNA TWIST. Use fresh mayo, u f...in sensitive stomach types. That product rocked.

youtube.com/watch?v=ma16CwjIEm0

Yes indeed, tuna twist changed tuna for me for ever.i have the same sentiment others have about always thinking of the twist every time i open a can of tuna. Boy do i miss that taste. Bring it back already damn!!!!!!!!!!

I WANT TUNA TWIST BACK!!! I was a little kid and I remember this stuff. My mother tries to make it (celery, carrots, onions and parsley), but even she says its not the same. Heres ny thing, if there was something in it that caused problems, why not remove that ingredient?? Im calling Nabisco.

I'd like Tuna Twist back too. Maybe my BF will give me some Tuna Twist this weekend!

I thought I was the only one who was searching for this product. I LOVE IT!

I'm so glad to see all the people that loved and miss Tuna Twist. It was my favorite after school meal. If I had any tummy issues it was because I ate it every day! ha ha To this day, tuna is not the same without it. Ok I get that a few people may have had issues with it but that can be said about anything. If something upsets my tummy, I stay away from it..it's that simple. However, for the rest of us who loved it and/or didn't care if it bothered our GI tracts...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!! I would starve myself for a week just to be able to pig out on Tuna Twist for a day.

LOL...this is too funny,...I made tuna salad tonite and still every single time if I do I think of that stuff and miss it, and decided tonite to finally search for ingredients and come upon this. :)

I want my tuna twist!!! If it makes me sick,thats ok......I CAN HAVE ANOTHER SANDWICH!!!

Yes, they have to bring tuna twist back! My tuna sandwichs hasn't been the same since they discontinued tuna twist. I hope they bring it back.

Come on, baby ... and do the twist. Come oooon, babbbby ... and do the twist ...

The ingredients in Tuna Twist (cheddar flavor) are: TVP, buttermilk solids, aged cheddar cheese solids, dehydrated onion, freeze dried celery, salt, MSG, lactic acid, citric acid, retsin, calcium silicate

PLEASE BRING IT BACK

Tuna twist was the BOMB!!!PLEASE BRING IT BACK

Bring it back. TEXAS for Tuna Twist!

I left a message a few years ago for the recipe that I recalled tasted like what I remembered Tuna Twist tasting like, and now I can't find the post on here, or on Facebook's 1,000s of posts. Is anyone else experiencing a missing post on here?

You say you've "made up a recipe that equals tuna twist so much that you don't even miss the original anymore", yet here you are.... LIES!

I wouldn't eat a tuna sandwich without Tuna Twist! I loved the Italian & Onion varieties, I don't think I ever tried the cheddar. My Mom originally bought it in 1976-77 and she used it with canned chicken as well. It seemed to disappear from the stores for some time after that but it definitely was back by 1981, I clearly remember buying it at that time. I don't remember any stories about it making people sick, allergies, recalls, etc. Nabisco really should bring it back!

Gonna do this tonight yup!

Tee-hee! You said Tuna Twist!

Yup gonna give the old lady some Tuna Twist in about 15 minutes from now

I remember my older Sister made this and I loved it she said that she didn’t remember so I sent her the picture of the box I’m 59 and I was 16 and still remember how much that I loved it

I loved this stuff. We were poor, but mom would splurge on it. After it was not longer available we would try chopping up our own veggies and adding them. I still do the carrots from time to time, but it freaks my husband out to have that crunch in there. His mom never bought him tuna twist. Poor sap.
